I think the frontier will command premium for sometime just as slight better software developers were 10x's vs their peers as their architecture & development strategies and code approach compounded quickly. One less error per bloc

Literal money transfer is not the point. It's about power and concentration of it to insulate future consolidation of power. Money is made up system to provide a relatively stable society; if that stops working it's not good; viol

I think it's just both companies building/ marketing to the strength of their competitor. As general perception has been the opposite for codex and Opus respectfully.

As the OP outlined 10x is common place now; where as my best day pre-AI may have been 500 LOC now 5K LOC per day is routine. So a few months on a solo project has produced ~500k lines of code. The code base is disproportionally testing auto

Genie 3 is already a frontier approach to interactive generative world views no? It will be AI all the way down soon. The models internal world view could be multiple passes and multi layer with different strategies... In any case; safe to

Was spending a lot with cursor switching between sonnet and opus 4.1s like 1500 to $2k a month. Was doing a lot of tabs in parallel of course. Output was like 5k lines on Good day. (Lines not the best measurement) But a yard stick against f

The poorly named "Autopilot" is a good analogy. The LLMs can definitely help with the drudgery of stop and go traffic with little risk; but take your eye off the road for one second when your moving too fast and your dead.

How well does the average employee do it? The baseline is not what you would do but what it would take to task someone to do it.

It's not racist to push baseless claims the opposition who is black was born in Africa and not qualified to run for office ? How else would you define racism if not across xenophobic lines by the color of ones skin ?

I think it's fair to call out a action reaction flow that got us here; but if we can't see we have swag into something far more destructive to free speech as the article outlines; I don't count this as intellectual honest dis

It's like we go out to a twelve course dinner and get home and there is one 10 calories carrot on the table and we are tweeting to no end about our genius and our total transparently and robust diet of throwing away that carrot. "

There is an element global competition no ? Controlling more of global trade is advantageous. It's not that they want others you fail; they just want a bigger pice of the pie.

Sure; but negotiations involve a give and take. You can't push things in the a direction if you just tout your purity and one side gives in and gets rolled over. I think some progress was made getting TikTok on US servers and the US hi

I was in a co-working space where it said "earthquake take cover"; on everyone's phone at once and then the earthquake hit very soon after. I guess it was enough time to get under a desk but everyone was just confused and the

Interesting that they use the word criminals instead of hackers.. makes it sound like it was a physical heist rather than poor security practices on their part :)

It's getting better and new UIs for it are being tested like Claude and artifacts. Sr. Eng adopted copilot and sung it's praises a lot faster then the jr engineers. Especially when working on codebases with less familiar languages

Makes opportunities for smaller companies to innovative/experiment to offer solutions / acquisition targets where tighter inference compute requirements makes or breaks the experience but larger training cost is less of a concern

Really enjoyed this journey. Could have extended into more modern tropes of singularity and mastery of energy the sun provides finding it's way into modern sci-fi.

This article seems to have a big miss the basic point on exponential technical progress shifting the "comparative constraint" every 18 months. A $35 raspberry pi AI chess blows away deep blue from algorithmic and compute progress.

I don't get why this would be someone's position. If it "barely works" it would not sustain mass usage across many product lines. Just recently, I used generative AI integrated into databricks to build complex sql querie
